Chapter 12: It's So Fluffy!
As soon as the quartet was admitted into the park, Sheldon guided the girls off towards the nearest coaster ride and stood back as they boarded the coaster car.
"Goodbye, you three. Have fun!" Sheldon called out innocuously, as he started to walk away before the ride operator stopped him.
"Sorry, dude, but they can't ride without an adult."
"B-but..." Sheldon stammered in disbelief before resigning himself to the rules as he found himself riding through the loops and turns with the three girls to keep them happy enough so his plans could still follow through. When the ride was finally over, Sheldon woozily fumbled for a nearby garbage bin, ready to barf.
"You coming, Sheldon? There's more rides to go on!" Sally called out causing Sheldon's eyes to widen in horror.
"Oh, dear Lord," the genius murmured until his breath, steeling himself for whatever was next. He could breathe a sigh of relief however when Sweetie Belle let out a deafening squeal of enthusiasm as she saw a plush unicorn at a carnival game stand.
"Oh my gosh, look at that fluffy unicorn!" Sweetie Belle cried out, visibly shaking with joy. "It's so fluffy, I can't take it!"
"We have to play for it," Karin told Sheldon.
"Well, I've grown up in a family where skeet-shooting is practically a state sport, but I can't possibly-" Sheldon explained, trying to talk out of participating.
"C'mon!" the three girls pleaded, as Sheldon sighed in defeat, walking over to the stand attendee.
"How much is it for the fluffy unicorn?" Sheldon asked.
"It's not for sale, but all you guys have to do to win it is knock down that little tin spaceship. It's easy!" the attendant explained as the girls manned the cannon reticles for the game and began firing out ping pong balls at the target, which popped up and out all over the place making it difficult to aim at. Soon enough the game was over, and Sheldon was ready to walk away back to his car.
"One more time!" Sally pleaded. "Sweetie Belle closed her eyes by mistake." Sheldon then sighed and paid the attendant again to start the game back up. They fired fast and furiously, managing to hit the target. The three celebrated, only to see that they ended up losing regardless.
"Wait, they hit the target. I saw it!" Sheldon pointed out, seeing how unfair their payment was for their success at the game.
"But, it wasn't knocked down, so no dice, buddy. Better luck for them next time!" the attendant replied smugly.
"If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts, wouldn't we all have a Happy Holiday? Anyhow, it's my turn." Sheldon answered as he paid the attendant... and fired out one of his own cannon guns, blowing the stand (and the target) to smithereens. "Now then, I believe you owe us one fluffy unicorn."
Trembling, the attendant handed the group the (unsigned) unicorn prize to Sweetie Belle, who glomped it with plenty of glee.
"So... fluffy!" Sweetie Belle declared as the other sisters admired Sheldon's amazing feat.
"That- was amazing." Karin said as they ran off to go play another game.
Soon enough, the four finally returned back to Sheldon's house, where Haymitch was waiting for him.
"Sheldon, may I- er, have a quick word with you?" Haymitch asked.
"Alright, girls. Go and play," Sheldon said as the three sisters ran off with the Minions following them, leaving the two scientists alone.
"Before you say anything, remember we have 12 days before the shrink ray and rocket are completely operational. So we can't afford any unnecessary distractions!"
"Not even for... cotton candy?" Sheldon asked playfully while holding up a cone of cotton candy, hoping to get a smile out of his assistant, only to be met with awkward silence.
"Fine... get me Hammer on the monitor."
